Document Summary
Hepatic portal system gathers blood from the gut; the gut is digesting food; hepatic takes it up to liver, liver processes the nutrients, and blood travels back to heart. Then arch of aorta, giving off 3 branches providing blood supply to head and upper limb. Then curves back and behind the heart, towards the thorax; as it does this it gives off a # of. Within the pockets of the right and left semilunar valves are the origins of the coronary arteries (these are the first branches that come off the ascending aorta) branches aorta section) Posterior intercostal arteries give off part of the blood supply to ribcage. Aorta continues through to abdomen at the bottom here, and nourishes structures in the thorax. Superior phrenic branches that goes to diaphragm (inferior phrenic branch is in the abdominal. Diaphragm is a sheeted muscle separating the thorax from abdomen, perforated by 3.
